The 31-year-old left AC Milan for the MLS last January but after only 16 appearances for LA Galaxy, De Jong is on his way back to Europe with Turkish side Galatasaray.
According to AD, De Jong arrived in Istanbul on Monday night to round the deal off and will be reunited with former Ajax and Netherlands teammate Wesley Sneijder.
De Jong has spoken about his desire to win his place back in the Dutch national team and a move back to Europe is the first step to impressing coach Danny Blind.
YES! Complete waste of money and DP spot next year. Good riddance.
He has still a lot to offer to oranje as currently we dont have a reliable proven ball winning midfielder
De Jong fully deserverves a place at dutch team, he has nothing to prove,Holland needs him now more than ever.
